Beat Plastic Pollution

We have entered the plastic age where our lives rotate around it—bags, containers, files, and even humans. You name it. Despite its utmost usefulness and undeniable convenience, certain plastics can pose a huge threat to our environment.

The fact that 6.3 billion metric tonnes out of 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic produced end up in landfills or oceans has spurred our eco-conscious State Government to instate stringent (and widely successful) policies against it.

No Single-Use Plastic

Single-Use plastics are so harmful that the United Nations has launched a five years Clean Seas Campaign against it. It threatens not only aquatic life but also humans who drink from plastic bottles containing BPA (Bisphenol A), which can lead to cancers and increased miscarriage risk.

Our Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yeow ruefully expressed that “We have become overreliant on single-use plastics that generate a vast amount of waste and eventually, contribute to marine litter.”

III. Can’t Dispose of! – Out of 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastic produced, 6.3 billion metric tons has become plastic waste that ends up in the environment (landfills/ocean). Reason being that ONLY 9% has been recycled and 12% was incinerated.
